Ahmadinejad's nukes for U.S, not for Israel

Have you noticed virtually all speculation the U.S. might militarily intervene to prevent Iran from becoming a full-fledged nuclear power has ceased?

With the Bush administration unable or unwilling to defeat the Iran-backed enemy in Iraq, any thought of widening U.S. military involvement in the Middle East has dissipated. There is hardly enough American political will to sustain the fight in Iraq, let alone political capital for a pre-emptive strike against Iran.

Instead, it appears the free world's one remaining hope of neutralizing Iran's nuclear arsenal by force is Israel – the nation that launched a pre-emptive strike against Saddam Hussein's nuclear bomb factory in 1981.

It's a matter of survival for Israel, we're told. After all, everyone is familiar with the bellicose mutterings of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has repeatedly called for the destruction of Israel. Right?

I am still of the opinion that the US Administration and State Department have come to realize that Israel will do something even if the US doesn't. Trying to play both sides for maximum effect, they can support Israel behind the scenes and still trumpet political speak that a diplomatic solution is still somehow possible (it isn't).
